This was my first experience at "starting something for the purpose of $", I'm actually no longer a part of it and I no longer talk with the CEO except for when I see him with friends of friends. My original vision for it compared to what ended up happening are mind blowingly different. I guess this is why they say execution is so important. Basically, two and a half steps into it, the entire plan had to be thrown out the window because it turned out someone else was really calling the shots when I thought I was. From there on out it was a nonstop battle.
I am very relieved to not be a part of it. Had no control and the funding would certainly further dilute the few shares I had. Essentially I would be working to make the investors rich while being met with the challenges that come with having no control(not even going to get into it right now). So glad to have learned from that experience. I know that you cannot buy your way to the execution of a business.
Just want to share this with the community - Remember, having control is very important. Hopefully this story helps someone in one way, shape, or form.
